Your reply to suntansuzie's post brought tears to my eyes. I felt so bad for that man and his darned insurance. grrrrr I also want to thank you for working in the area you do. I am sure you are a great asset to those poeple. I can tell from your post. :) My dad currently is suffering from congestive heart failure. I live about 3 days drive away from him. He is the kind of guy you described. I know whenever he goes into the hospital or needs home care that the people that work with him are touched by his positive attitude too. I also know that the workers like you make his life better and more comfortable. Too bad some doctors aren't like that with him.
So thanks for the work you do! And thanks for sharing the story you did too. your friend in recovery, cdb :)
My Mom also suffers from congestive heart failure and osteoporosis. Luckly she is only 45 minutes away from me. She still lives in her own home, but I so wish she would move into an assisted livibg center. It is so hard for her to do much of anything. She's not ready I guess. My job is a God send to me. I can't wait to get out of my house and hate to go home after work. I'm working on that! Patience, right? I've beeen asked how I can be so "up" at work and go home to what I do! Many here understand that I'm sure. Thaks for your post, you lifted my spirita when they needed a boost.
